The inevitable choices we have to make
in the pursuit of our futures have never
been easy. Yet, it is through this process
that we discover who we are and who we
want to be. Our time at Fairfield University
has provided the guidance and support,
which have allowed us to grow, develop,
and succeed in the paths we have
chosen. The sum of these decisions and
experiences have made our last four years
become the journey that has redefined us.

JEIIim
Founded in 1942, Fairfield University
stretches over two hundred acres with
thirty four major buildings of learning,
residence, and recreation. Each year, our
campus continues to expand such as the
addition of the Aloysius P. Kelley Center.
Filled with beautiful scenery and elegant
architecture, it has been our home for the
last four years of our college experience.
The Fairfield University campus is always growing and the
Aloysius P. Kelly Center will become the new home for our
administrative, admissions, financial aid and career planning
offices.

ntroduction
In the transition from freshmen to seniors,
Fairfield has provided an unforgettable
experience which has given us friends
that will last a lifetime. Our many sporting
events, concerts, dances, clubs and
volunteer groups, as well as various
other social activities, have allowed us to
come together with our friends and fellow
students to have fun. We've made some
memories that will never be forgotten.
In the spring students are able to gather together and enjoy
the warm weather with barbecues, outdoor sports, and
various other activities.

Fairfield's Jesuit legacy pervades our
campus as it seeks to foster the values of
intellectual pursuit, ethical and religious
development, and a sense of social
responsibility. Through various academic
and extra-curricular opportunities, our Jesuit
education seeks to create well educated
and socially aware young men and women
who value the dignity of human life.
During our time at Fairfield, we come to realize that only
when we work together can we change the world for the
better.

While at Fairfield, the friends that you
make become your second family as you
leave your home and comfort zone for the
first time as a freshman. Likewise, your
professors, coaches, and advisors also all
become part of an extended family that
helps you develop from an inexperienced
freshman into an accomplished
graduate ready to enter the world
Having family from home as well as younger siblings come to
visit is always a fun and interesting for students. Being able
to combine the family one has created at Fairfield with one's
family from home is a wonderful experience.

the transition from freshman to sophomore

Your junior and senior years allow for the
shift from residence halls to townhouses
and the beach, the opportunity to study
abroad, the chance to share in senior

starting your future career. As graduation

to look back fondly and make the most

Clubs and activities are a huge part of the Fairfield University
culture. Although everyone has to balance classes, jobs,
and social lives, many still find the time to participate
in at least one of the many clubs and activities offered.
Everywhere you turn these student groups are active
participants in the everyday happenings around campus,
helping to get newcomers involved and creating a welcoming

Brisbane is the capital of the Sunshine State of Queensland and, with 1.1 million
people, is Australia's third largest city. Lying at the heart of the most diverse and
popular vacation region in Australia, it boasts a subtropical climate, with average
highs of 70 degrees (winter) and 85 (summer). The city's imposing skyline rises
above the Brisbane river, and its streets offer all the excitement of a modern
cosmopolitan center: museums, cafes, shopping and nightlife. While there are
ultra-modern high-rises, the city has preserved the charm of its 19th century
architectural legacy. Brisbane is a vacation destination, but it's also a thriving
commercial and cultural center. The city has so much to offer: beaches, river-
walks, gardens and wildlife parks (the country's largest population of koalas).

Florence is a city of momentous change - but also, a city
that retains its ancient character and legacy. It is a city of paradox,
and endlessly fascinating; a perfect place to study, learn, and live.
Known for its art treasures and history, the city's story goes back to the Roman
Empire. Florence has attracted students for centuries, and with good reason. History
makes itself felt in every piazza, street, and market; you have the sense of living in
the vital present while surrounded with the greatest achievements of the past. The
streets of Florence make even a walk to class an unforgettable cultural experience.

Granada, population 240,000, is located in Andalusia, Spain's southern-most
region, and is overlooked by the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The combination of
the warm climate and the accessibility of the mountains makes Granada one of
the most visited cities in Spain. Granada is a mix of natural beauty and inviting
climate, Moorish art and architecture, and cultural flair gleaned from its strong
Gypsy heritage. For the student, this ideal setting offers a great opportunity
for the study of culture and history and for many outdoor activities year-round.

Stronger Than Ever
Fairfield Women's soccer had an awesome and memorable season. Seniors Katie Ely,
Shannon Helm, Megan Mones and Jessica Stamos lead their team all the way to the NCAA
Tournament. The season began with seven wins and six losses. From there the Stags moved on to
the MAAC Tournament where they beat three teams and secured their place at the NCAA Tournament.
Fairfield Women's soccer has only been to the MAAC Tournament six times (the last time in 1 999),
and to the NCAA for the four times, so these were
huge achievements. The team ended their season
with a 10-7-3 record, a very impressive improvement
from last year. The four senior players will be missed.
Their impact on the team was clearly significant.
Team unity helped in the creation of this record

The Women's basketball team had a rough season ending with a 1 2-1 8 record despite
their experience and vigor. The team will miss its three graduating seniors including
Cara Murphy, Clare Faurote, and Ivana Podrug but with many upcoming Juniors
and Seniors an incredible year will surely follow. The season ended with an exciting
overtime win advancing the team to the MAAC quarterfinals, but unfortunatley the team
fell short in the game to Canisius College.

This year was a milestone for Men's Lacrosse as it was the teams first season in the
ECAC Lacrosse League, one of the highest ranked leagues in the nation. The change
gave the team a run for their money as there were many bumps along the road with
one of the toughest schedules the program has ever seen. The team worked hard to
achieve a winning season and did an outstanding job. The Stags ended the season
with an overall 6-7 record. The Stags are
sad to lose seniors Josh Thorton, Brian

With the help of their first coach, the 2005-2006 Women's Rugby Team learned new skills
and strategies which aided the ladies in their impressive season. These ruggers successfully
beat Drew and Stony Brook, and made it to the playoffs for the first time in club history. The
devoted team played rain, hail, or shine and had an amazing season full of head injuries and
memories (or lack thereof). Ending their year with a trip to Vermont for the Ruggers Against Rape
Tournament, it was a bittersweet time. The seniors,
Jackie Acampora, Janelle Buckley, Erin Casey,
Caty Marzi, and Katie Tracia are sad to leave the
family they have been a part of for four years. They
will be greatly missed by the team and therefore
must be in attendence for next years alumni games.

he sing tenor in the Glee Club, but he is also part of the

Mikaela Conley could not shake
the number 17,000 from her
mind. It was, her father had
explained, the number of Afghan
villages in need of a well for fresh
water. "That number struck me,
and it was obvious that there
was a dire need". So Mikaela
decided to do something about it.
She co-founded the Afghan Children's Fund, which raised enough money
to construct a well in the city of Aloudine, an Afghan village of 200 families.
The plaque beside the well reads: "A Gift to Afghan Children from Fairfield
University, United States of America: Peace Brings All Good Things."
Mikaela's experience at Fairfield helped her to achieve this goal. She
says, "[the] combination of institutionalized and spiritual
consciousness creates not only a well-educated student,
but a person that is aware of his need to bring peace and
betterment to others." Mikaela hopes to continue on this
7 path by attending law school and to focus on international
humanitarian issues. She hopes to work with developing
countries and perhaps make improvements for those in the
world who live without even the most basic of necessities.

Even before this most recent honor, Dr. Boryczka has gained numerous
recognition from peers and national associations for her research on
women and morality. Last fall, she earned an honorable mention from the
Women and Politics section of the American Political Science
Association for best dissertation. She completed her dissertation,
"Guardians of Morality: A Conceptual History of Virtue in Relationship
to Women and Moral and Political Discourse in American Democracy," in
2004. The study is a conceptual history of how Americans
- primarily males - have discussed, determined, and judged
what defines a woman's virtue, from the Puritan period
Id the present. As for some next steps in her research,
she is interested in what "real people" have to say about
virtue. She plans to investigate the discourses emanating
from communities of women traditionally associated
with cultural definitions of "vice," such as female slaves,
prostitutes, and gang member.

Fairfield University, as a Jesuit
Institution, forced us to look at
ourselves, to ask questions, and to
explore. We were encouraged to
become not merely better students,
but better people, who live to serve
others. It is necessary for us to
take this open-mindedness and
sense of hope with us. We should
no longer be as impressionable as
we once were. We have learned
to discern which voices to listen
to and which to ignore. We must
not become slaves to the voices
that call us to conform, consume,
and cash in on our talents
178 ■■■ Academics
We must decide what is meaningful in our lives, to determine how we are
going to make a difference, and to find our place in society. We must "change
our course" and recognize how important it is to ask questions, form our own
opinions, and challenge the majority. If we think back to the story of the Seattle
Special Olympics, we must realize that the crowd of people cheering on those
young athletes, prior to their turning back to help their injured competitor, were
most likely families and friends who wanted their athlete to be the winner of the
face. They, in some sense, are not unlike our families and friends, who support
* our endeavors. Despite the cheers of their supporters,
if
however, those children believed that it was more important to
listen to the voices within themselves, to stand by one another,
and to challenge the desire for recognition. The crowd, at
the end of the story, could not help but be overwhelmed with
joy by their acts of kindness. Friedrich Nietzsche once said,
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being
i
<
overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely
often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high
to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." And so this is
the challenge that I leave you with as we all leave Fairfield
today. Be yourself and be sure to "change your course every now and then."

the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved, desirous of everything at
the same time, the ones who never yawn or
say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn,
burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders across the stars..."

Father Terry Devino has been
the associate chaplain of
Fairfield University's campus
ministry for the past three years.
During that short period of
time, he has had an amazing
impact on Fairfield's student
body. Father Devino has the
wonderful ability to relate to
the students, probably because
he acts like one most of the
time. His friendliness and
enthusiasm are what attract
so many students to become
involved in campus ministry.
/'
/
242 ■■■Dedication
By listening to Father Devino give a mass, it is easy to understand why
he touches so many hearts. Each and every person in church feels
that his homily is speaking directly to them. The things he says are
truly meaningful because they are so easily applicable to everyday life.
Whether he is making up some ridiculous new word or speaking about how to
be a more loving person, Father Devino can always bring a smile to anyone's
face. He is a kind, caring priest who genuinely wants to see more students
L
become involved in the act of loving others. In establishing
the Kairos retreat program at Fairfield, he has enabled
students to take part in an activity that allows us not only to
r~form strong, lasting bonds with each other, but encourages
us to spread the incredible feeling of being loved. Father
Devino portrays the very essence of love; he genuinely
loves people and wants us to share that love he has for
us with the world. Father Devino will be greatly missed
next year, but the memories we have made with him and
the impact he has had on our community will last forever.

cover was created as a custom embossed design featuring
custom cut embossing and foil stamping dies applied to
vibra tex crimson base material #41006. A silkscreen
application of opaque paint colors #23 silver and #26
black and silver F-1 foil stamping dies applied to the base
material. An english linen grain was also added to complete
the cover process. The custom school designed endsheets
were printed on stonetext granite series frost SCG-1 stock
using HJ #200 scarlet and #950 process black lithographic
inks. The paper stock chosen for the entire book consisted
of Meade Westvaco's triple coated 1 00 pound ermine matte
stock. Special effects consisted of 4-color process photos in
the opening section and student life sections. Spot colored
backgrounds, percentage screeens of black, overprints,
reverses, mortices and rule lines were utilized throughout.

customer service person in Gettysburg is Ms. Barb Hale.
Additional credits go to the Gettysburg Art Department
